Tulipa saxatalis

Location

The Winter Border in the Walled Garden

Description:

Bowl-shaped mauve-pink flowers, with a paler interior and a luminous, well-defined eye, appear in profusion from mid-spring. Compact in habit, they are ideally suited to pots or windowboxes, as well as the front of the border.

Site and Care:

In autumn, plant bulbs 8-10cm (3-4in) deep in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade.
